Introduction: The ribonuclease (RNase) A superfamily encodes cationic antimicrobial proteins with potent microbicidal activity toward uropathogenic bacteria. Ribonuclease 6 (RNase6) is an evolutionarily conserved, leukocyte-derived antimicrobial pept

Abstract Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common comorbidity in hospitalized neonates. The current UTI diagnostics have several limitations including invasive collection of urinary samples to ensure sterility, risk of contamination and lack of c

Summary: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) commonly afflict people with diabetes. To better understand the mechanisms that predispose diabetics to UTIs, we employ diabetic mouse models and altered insulin signaling to show that insulin receptor (IR) sh

Mounting evidence suggests that antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs) belonging to the RNase A superfamily have a critical role in defending the bladder and kidney from bacterial infection. RNase 6 has been identified as a potent, leukocyte-deri

Summary: Glomerular disease manifests as nephrotic syndrome (NS) with high proteinuria and comorbidities, and is frequently refractory to standard treatments. We hypothesized that a selective modulator of PPARγ, GQ-16, will provide therapeutic advan

The lower urinary tract is routinely exposed to microbes residing in the gastrointestinal tract, yet the urothelium resists invasive infections by gut microorganisms. This infection resistance is attributed to innate defenses in the bladder urotheliu

With the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, innovative approaches are needed for the treatment of urinary tract infections. Boosting antimicrobial peptide expression may provide an alternative to antibiotics. Here, we developed reporter cell

Urothelium is a specialized multilayer epithelium that lines the urinary tract from the proximal urethra to the kidney. In addition to proliferation and differentiation during development, urothelial injury postnatally triggers a robust regenerative
